Dream #1331

I awake. I have never before heard so little. Nothing. Absolute stillness. No rain beating against the window, no screech of car wheels or chirp of crickets in the background, not even the gentle whisper of the wind as it gently strokes the hanging baskets outside.
I. Am. In. Peace.
In fact there is no outside. Whilst in admiration of this new found silence I failed to notice the lack of anything physical. Just light. Where is my bath, my door, my sink...Before I can even start to worry about my whereabouts or panic about how I had got here I am walking towards something. I can't see anything but I am safe in the knowledge that I KNOW there will be something there.
As I reach it I am, for the first time in months Myself. No overwhelming thump of the heart or uncontrollable heavy breaths. No. I have arrived and already I know. I know that this place will treat better than the last.
I will not miss the angst, the worry. No longer will debt interrupt every conceivable thought I have or hate fuel me to be someone I have grown to hate.
No.
I will not miss the belongings I left behind. The noise. The money - or lack of.The wind the rain. I will not miss my sink. My door. My blood stained bath or my limp body.
I will not miss my life. For this one is better.

And I have only been here for a fraction of the time.
